CAKE Bringing TeamTO’s Mighty Mike to Cannes

At next month’s MIPCOM, CAKE plans to present Mighty Mike, an animated slapstick comedy produced by France’s TeamTO.

Mighty Mike follows the adventures of a sophisticated pug who yearns for peace and quiet but instead must defend his house from furry intruders. The 78×7-minute dialogue-free show is meant for viewers between the ages of 6 and 10. It is an original TeamTO production with Canada’s Digital Dimension.

Mighty Mike is slated for broadcast next year internationally on Boomerang (in addition to Turner’s Cartoon Network, Boing and POGO in select markets), Family Channel in Canada, France Télévisions and Super RTL in Germany. CAKE internationally distributes the series outside of France, Germany and China.

Ed Galton, the CCO and managing director of CAKE, said: “We are very proud to be showcasing the first episodes of Mighty Mike in Cannes. The combination of high-end visuals and classic cartoon storytelling makes for pure entertainment, and we are looking forward to presenting this standout show to our buyers.”

Corinne Kouper, the senior VP of development and production at TeamTO, added: “We have once again had the pleasure of producing a dialogue-free show, but this time, we have rewritten the codes of animation thanks to the photorealistic rendering that has, until now, been the exclusive reserve of feature-film special effects. Mighty Mike’s unique artistic direction, together with its charming characters, anchors this series firmly in the 21st century.”
